Coombe Bissett and Homington Drama Club

Picture
Our  spring production this year is a new play, " Life on the Landing " written and directed by Chris Chelu,  taking place on 19th & 20th May 2023 at 7pm   Rehearsals are now underway and the set is being designed and built.
 
Five young people live in a house of multiple occupation. Rickie, an unemployed graduate, and his faithful girlfriend, Carol, share one room; Sandy and Jules another. Saucy Rebecca lives in a third. Rickie decides to have an impromptu party to celebrate the first moon landing. Games are played and relationships are tested, against the backdrop of an uncooperative landlord.
 
Tickets will be available at the Box Office from 27th April 2023 by phoning 01722 718  850.  There will be a licensed pay bar and a two course dinner included, all for the sum of £15 per head.  There will be 100 covers per night.
 
Make a note in your diary to book your tickets.  Tables of 6.
Organise a party booking!

Coombe Bissett and Homington Drama Group was formed in 1973 just after the Coombe Bissett and Homington Village Hall was first built in 1972. The club generally puts on a pantomime in the village hall during the first week of December and a play in May. The club has no formal membership in that there are no fees.  Members mostly live in the Chalke Valley and Salisbury area.  
For more information about the club please contact Lynn Mills, Chairman, on 01722 718 438  or  Chris  Chelu, committee member, on 01722 718 351  or click here to e-mail the Chairman.

Join us!

Villagers hoping to act in a major or minor role are most welcome, including any newcomers of any age who, as yet, haven’t smelt the greasepaint or heard the roar of the crowd. We are always looking for new faces to help us with plays and pantomimes, and we have it on good authority that there are people lurking in the village who have hidden talent if only they can be persuaded to come along to auditions. Rehearsals are as much fun as the performances, and it is a good way to make new friends. If the stage itself is a fearsome thing for you, we welcome those of you who would like to help back stage, side stage, above stage and under the stage, if not on stage. Jobs that need doing include making props, good for those model makers amongst you; organizing costumes from our comprehensive costume store; scene painters for those artists amongst you; front of house, for those who like dealing with the punters; and sales and marketing types to do publicity and sell tickets. If you live in the Chalke Valley, the Salisbury area or further away and would like to join us  contact Lynn Mills on 01722  718 438  or Chris Chelu on 01722 718 351   or click here to e-mail the Chairman.

Fethbians' Fortieth Fwolick

On 15th June 2013 a gathering of drama group members took place in the village hall to celebrate the 40th year of the club.   About 90 past members from the 1970s to the present day gathered to enjoy a hog roast and to dance to Legacy Sound, with music from the 50s, 60, and 70s.  Actors and directors aside, productions could not take place without the large number of other people willing to give up their time and who help to make each show a success.  Thank you all.         Click on the picture below for a larger one
